(4,062 posts)I know what you are feeling and I think I can help you out. When Discussionist was up I went there because frankly it is more fun to skewer conservative cretins than waste time prolonging some bitter "I'm a more pure Democrat than you are" argument with someone on DU I am likely 90% in agreement with anyway.
You've only been here a couple days, but given you disdain for Superdelagates, your support for Bernie, and your contention that Democrats need to act complete doormats that Trump can stomp all over I think your counterculture position will ultimately leave you unhappy and bitter...so here are my suggestions. Check them out and you might find you like them better.
First. JackpineRadicals might be a place you will enjoy more. Frankly I liked quite a few of the long time DU types that ended up over there, they have some thoughtful folks, but I can't stand going there given the professional Kremlin troll they give a large platform to. One thing you can say about pre-Trump DI conservatives, they couldn't stand Putin's internet trolls any more than I could and so JPR's guest star was unceremoniously kicked from DI. That was, of course, before rigid unthinking party-first conservative doctrine turned Putin from the "leader of the evil empire" to "a leader to be admired" (TM). But still there are a lot of good folks on JPR and I think you might be happier with their purity of soul.
Second. You might even want to go the other way. Conservative Cave's denizens would certainly not go harshly on you either based on your posting history here. Better keep it solely to criticizing your fellow Dems though, because let's face it conservatives will ban your ass in 20 seconds if you dare disagree with them.
Anyway, welcome to DU. Who knows, maybe it will agree with you in the long term!
